Let me know when Trump's approval ratings are underwater

and then I'll see some hope for America.
I don't care if it's under50%.
But as long as I see his approval numbers higher than his disapproval numbers, with all the shit he is doing, I just don't see anything changing for this country.
He will bring us down and too many Americans will sleep walk to our demise.

Edit
Seems I wasn't clear, as long as more people approve, than disapprove, even if approval is less than 50%, he will go unchecked.

A poll, released Thursday by Gallup, found that 47 percent of respondents support Trump’s term so far, just above the 45 percent he earned at this point during his first term.

It’s a rating that places him below all other elected presidents since 1953. He remains the only elected commander in chief with an approval rating below 50 percent, the survey found.

Trump’s disapproval rating is 48 percent, which is 3 percentage points higher than in 2017 and marks a new high for that rating at the start of a president’s term

.

By my math, that puts him underwater.

The first Emerson College Polling national survey of the Trump administration shows the President beginning his term with a 49% job approval rating, and 41% disapproval. Ten percent are neutral.

“President Trump’s 49% job approval rating closely reflects his share of national support in the 2024 election, and his 41% disapproval is the lowest it has been in Emerson national polls dating back to his first term,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said. “All age groups have a net approval of Trump, including voters under 30 (46%-38%), except those over 70, who narrowly disapprove (49%-48%).”
